[Admittedly, Saya gets to sidestep a majority of them by getting around his worries about living up to his status and what his parents would think by being a powerful vampire queen and not literal former mortal enemies. That goes a very long way.]

Noted. Though I can usually deal with tempers. [Well, from other people. Maybe it will be harder from Saya, always hard to say when he's Personally Invested.]

Admittedly, there are a great many love stories that start on the battlefield. My parents met on the battlefield, but after that battle, father grew very uninterested in the fight with mother in his view.

And violence is less commonplace these days. Mortals are much softer, even demons.

Killing people is treated more severely than it was even a century before.

Also you've never tried to kill me and strength is always attractive.

[ She'll take a Cheat Code now and then when it gets her what she wants. Thinking that his parents would approve of her honestly delights her, she hopes she gets to meet them as herself and not as a glowing chrysalis that represents more time stolen from their son. ]

There's a reason for that. Violence and attraction kick up many of the same hormones. There's a reason I prefer the blood of those who have been fighting or who I've gotten in a different sort of ruffled state.

--Speaking of strength and attraction. I might have found something of interest to you. A topical treatment that suppresses otherworldly abilities, temporarily. I wanted you to test it before we actually try it, but...

[ She got it from a customer of all things, but went to the shop herself and it's not counterfeit or anything. Just highly kink-specific. ]

If the store owner is to be believed, one could control how long marks stay on me. Spring powers would still work on them, and it wears off eventually, depending on how much you use.

[ Interested? ]

[forgingfires]

True, but I've never found myself attracted to them while opposed to them in a fight. I was more irritated.

[Excuse him, there may a crash of breaking glass and sudden cursing.]

[sangreine]

[ This conversation went from "her" to "them" real fast. But, pivoting. ]

My, I hope that wasn't anything important.

[forgingfires]

[The problem with late night conversations and busy hands mean slip of the tongue gonna happen.]

I can-

Easily remake it.

It's fine! [Oh his voice definitely raised a few octaves.]

I-

Would be interested.

[sangreine]

[ It's fine he's adorable ]

I was hoping so. It seems perfect. Since it sits on the skin, it can only cause superficial injuries, no risk of anything serious.

[ And since it's meant for kinky stuff it's not toxic, not that it matters since he burns her blood off and anything else would be gone too. ]

I figure if anything could get you to stop working and relax for a little while this might do the trick. For a given definition of "relax".

[forgingfires]

I-

[Work important. But also.]

[BUT ALSO]

I could-

Definitely work that into my schedule.

For sure.

[sangreine]

[ If she's going under in 6 weeks or so, she wants him to have some memories of that time with her that aren't just work. ]

Glad to hear it.

Want me to run the thing by sometime so you can make sure it's safe? [ She'd offer to leave it on his doorstep or something but with his luck the monkeys will find it and ask questions and then the house will be a smoking crater. ]

I must admit, this is on the short list of things I want to do before my next test. It's been on my mind for days. Different sort of trouble sleeping than you're having. [ Maybe not so different at this point, though. ]

[forgingfires]

[There is so much crackling fire on his end. Breathing hard.]

I-yes. I should also test how potent it is. Wouldn't want for it to put out the fire in my mouth. I can test with a blood bag.

[A definite fwoosh.] Yeah, I-I would like to use it before the next test.

[It may not make her hibernate, BUT IT MIGHT, and then it could be a long while until he figures things out.]

[It's a memory he'd like himself, just in case.]

[sangreine]

I don't think it would hold up to fire. You can clean it off with water, according to the instructions. [ She was thorough in her examination! At least as much as she can be without test tubes at her disposal. This is a novelty toy, not a torture device. ]

As soon as you're sure it's safe, then. For the sake of my impatience.

[ Hopefully he's not still holding anything breakable-- ] I would never have thought I'd like the idea as much as I do. But if a lingering mark causes even a fraction of what I feel when your teeth bite into me...

[ A breathy sigh ]

[ (Not sorry.) ]

[forgingfires]

Yes, but my fire is also a natural power. I just want to make absolutely sure there's not a surprise. I'm sure in any case, there's a way to make it work. [Either bring precise on how much is on her skin, or just be ready to drink some of it in an emergency. He's a true omnivore and hard to poison biologically, it's probably fine.]

[Or he purifies her blood in his mouth. Now that is a thought. He would need to drink less water then.]

[There is another crackle of fire.] I'm eager too.

I like how your marks look on me. I really want to see them longer on you.

[sangreine]

I'm sure there is. I have faith in you. [ And that he's as interested in this idea as she is. ]

It's quite different, seeing them on someone else. Tangible evidence that they're yours, for the moment. And in my case, something I've only experienced with you. [ None of her other partners, not her Chevaliers, no one has been allowed to bite her before. ]

With a lingering mark it'll be impossible for me to move without tugging it or twinging it, and so impossible to keep it out of mind. Constantly remembering the bite that put it there. That alone could turn my eyes gold.
